App Crash: Take off must be called before shared()

[AE1NS]

We are using the following packages:

"urbanairship-cordova": "14.2.0",
"urbanairship-gimbal-bridge-cordova": "3.1.1",

with auto takeoff by setting the keys in the config.xml. Inside Firebase Crashlytics I see some app crashes (40+) that seems to be caused by this gimbal plugin. It seems to occur when a push has been sent.

Exceptions with stack:

Could you please check the implementation if you can find the reason for this?

Thanks for the report, we will look into it

[AE1NS]

Do you have any news yet?

Hello, we'll release a version to fix this in the next days. I'll keep you informed in here.

[Ulrico972]

Hello @AE1NS, the version 3.1.2 is out. Please let us know if everything works for you now.

Could not find com.urbanairship.android:gimbal-adapter:7.5.0.
     Searched in the following locations:
       - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/urbanairship/android/gimbal-adapter/7.5.0/gimbal-adapter-7.5.0.pom
       - https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/urbanairship/android/gimbal-adapter/7.5.0/gimbal-adapter-7.5.0.pom
       - ...

For the previous version this was used, right?:
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/urbanairship/android/gimbal-adapter/7.4.0/gimbal-adapter-7.4.0.pom
But for the new version the package is not published:
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/urbanairship/android/gimbal-adapter/7.5.0/gimbal-adapter-7.5.0.pom

[Ulrico972]

I'm sorry to hear that. The release process went well so I guess the new version is just experimenting some delay to appear in maven.
And indeed, it wasn't showing up a couple of hours ago but now it does 😄 .

[AE1NS]

Yes, now its working. I will close this issue for now. If we have any more troubles I will reopen it or will create a new one. Thanks for your support!

Unfortunately its not running on android now.

When I downgrade urbanairship-gimbal-bridge-cordova to 3.1.1 its running again.

[Ulrico972]

My apologies @AE1NS , we didn't update the cordova plugin with our last version yet so I shouldn't have been using the last version.

To avoid you losing anymore time on this until we update Cordova, I would suggest if you mind, to manually update the Airship SDK version to 16.7.2 in your project at platforms/android/urbanairship-cordova/build-extras.gradle.

Does that suits you well ?

[AE1NS]

Unfortunately no. Our build server will overwrite this file after building + synchronizing the capacitor plugins.

Whats the estimated release date of the the version of the urbanairship-cordova plugin?

[Ulrico972]

We should be able to release the next version at least next week. Possibly during this week.

[Ulrico972]

Hi @AE1NS, we released the version 14.4.0 of the urbanairship-cordova plugin today.
This version should fix the versions conflicts you had with the gimbal bridge.
Let us know if there is anything.

[AE1NS]

I will check it, thank you!
